It's been years since I read the manifesto, and I really haven't read much that gets labeled as such, so I'm not even completely sure where the image in my head of cyberpunk-ness comes from. That makes sense though, that punchy, rapid-fire prose would be a part of it. I put a link to your review in my part 2 now.Daniel Ausemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478942286366751753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29478962.post-39265096722957844222008-12-09T20:06:00.000-08:002008-12-09T20:06:00.000-08:00I think the way Sterling's stories are cyberpunk i...I think the way Sterling's stories are cyberpunk is in how he uses his prose - short, sharp, staccato bursts that pushes the bounds further. While there isn't much on the technological developments, at least not explicitly, there is the sense that the desires by both the Shapers and the Mechanists to advance their technologies to further their quest to gain the upper hand in the solar system is rooted in technology and the belief that technological advancement (whether it be mechanical or genetic) is vital for human development.<BR/><BR/>Good review. I've already posted my review now and I'll add a link to it shortly over there on the OF Blog.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29478962.post-75108495664957447612008-12-09T16:54:00.000-08:002008-12-09T16:54:00.000-08:00Hi Daniel!Very nice review!
